Today, along with all of the other lessons, we had a presentation on security. They talked about the things we should do to be secure in China. Even though we need to be aware, China is a safe place to live. We also watched a move about Helen Snow. She was a Utahn who moved to China at the start of the Chinese revolution. While there she married Edward Snow. She and her husband were sympathetic to the Communists and were able to meet with many of the top Chinese officials, including Mao Zedong. Edward Snow wrote a novel about the communists called "Red Star Over China". This book was very popular in the West even though it was very biased toward the communists. Helen Snow also wrote about the communists, but her books were not as popular.

In the evening we saw another Chinese movie "Not One Less".
